possibilités d’emplois, une qualité de vie supérieure, un grand nombre d’événements culturels et de la diversité sociale. Afin d’explorer ces hypothèses, des entrevues en profondeur ont été effectuées auprès de représentants de la main-d’œuvre créative et bien

Les AA. présentent les récentes tendances de la théorie institutionnelle et des institutions en impliquant les acteurs sociaux et leurs pratiques quotidiennes au centre de leur analyse. Ils décrivent les trois principaux aspects de ce débat ; à
savoir le pluralisme institutionnel, la légitimité des institutions et le rôle de l’Etat. Ils illustrent leur propos au travers du caractère informel et toutefois toléré du bidonville à New Delhi et des vendeurs de rue à Dhaka. Ils concluent par les
implications de cette approche des institutions appliquée aux futures recherches de la géographie du développement.

In the South African context, research is produced in multiple conversations that include conventional academic disciplinary communities, but extends beyond the university, engaging with a wide range of social and political institutions and actors
. This is explored from the author's experience in community based urban research programmes. - (AJC)

This science city forms one of the largest agglomerations of private researchinstitutions in Japan. They emphasize basic research in high technology industries. The analysis of their historical development, labor markets, commodity linkages
, and research communication networks are conducted to identify the process of agglomeration. The major factors of the agglomeration are elucidated.

Voluminous and widespread tephras were produced frequently during the last 36,000 yr of volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens. Numerous tephra sets have been defined by D. R. Mullineaux, J. H. Hyde, and M. Rubin (1975, U. S. Geological Survey
Journal of Research, 3, 329-335) on the basis of field relations, Fe-Mg phenocryst assemblage, and C chronology and are valuable marker beds for regional stratigraphic studies. In this study modal abundances and mineral compositions were determined (via
petrographic and electron microprobe techniques) for numerous samples of individual layers within tephra sets W and Y to evaluate the degree of compositional variability within and between tephra layers and criteria by which to distinguish among Mount St

This paper demonstrates that some of the research gaps relating to social enterprise and socially enterprising behaviour within the UK could be tackled within a geographical research agenda that recognises the place-based aspects of such activity
. It suggests ways in which geographers can bring their spatial lens to the development of interdisciplinary work on social enterprise. Through literature review the paper highlights knowledge gaps that geographers would be well-placed to fill.

The AA. consider how geographers can contribute to efforts to afford friendship greater prominence in the social sciences. The main part considers three strands of work on friendship that push the boundaries of research in human geography
: geographies of affect/emotion and the ontological construction of the human ; children’s and young people’s geographies and the (re)production of social ordering ; and geographies of mobility and transnationalism in a world of increased human spatial movement
